Stellar Imager (SI): developing and testing a predictive dynamo model for the Sun by imaging other stars
Kenneth G. Carpenter, Carolus J. Schrijver, Margarita Karovska +39
The Stellar Imager mission concept is a space-based UV/Optical interferometer designed to resolve surface magnetic activity and subsurface structure and flows of a population of Su…
Science Objectives for an X-Ray Microcalorimeter Observing the Sun
J. Martin Laming, J. Adams, D. Alexander +57
We present the science case for a broadband X-ray imager with high-resolution spectroscopy, including simulations of X-ray spectral diagnostics of both active regions and solar fla…
Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectroscopy: A Key Capability for Understanding the Physics of Solar Wind Acceleration
S. R. Cranmer, J. L. Kohl, D. Alexander +21
Understanding the physical processes responsible for accelerating the solar wind requires detailed measurements of the collisionless plasma in the extended solar corona. Some key c…
Can the Solar Wind be Driven by Magnetic Reconnection in the Sun's Magnetic Carpet?
Steven R. Cranmer, Adriaan A. van Ballegooijen
The physical processes that heat the solar corona and accelerate the solar wind remain unknown after many years of study. Some have suggested that the wind is driven by waves and t…
Self Consistent Models of the Solar Wind
Steven R. Cranmer
The origins of the hot solar corona and the supersonically expanding solar wind are still the subject of much debate. This paper summarizes some of the essential ingredients of rea…
The Tale of Two Minima and a Solar Cycle in Between: An Ongoing Fast Solar Wind Investigation
M. P. Miralles, S. R. Cranmer, A. V. Panasyuk +1
We have measured the physical properties of polar coronal holes from the minimum activity phase of solar cycle 23 (1996-1997) to the present minimum of solar cycle 24 (2007-2009) u…
